I literally Google recaps for this and Desperate Housewive frequently, to no avail. EDIT TO SAY MIKE MENTIONED MAKING A DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES SERIES!! He’s giving, he gave, we got 🙌🙌
@@Jake-um8yfwhat are the winning lottery numbers, where do i meet my partner, is it gonna keep raining? Use your prophecies for good what am i gonna have for lunch tomorrow in 2 months
Looooove that Mike chooses to talk about shows that are from a similar era of pop culture and then proceeds be shocked when he finds out things overlap
i’m from LATAM and here “ugly betty” (the original show) is HUGE, the cultural impact is insane. When “ugly betty” entered netflix LATAM it was number #1 for weeks, people was watching it all over again, new generations were watching it for the very first time too. Totally crazy. And also, today we can finally call America Ferrera an Academy Award Nominee 🎉.
Ugly Betty is an iconic series but I truly will never forgive ABC Studios for convincing the world that AMERICA FERERRA could ever be ugly like absolutely not Edit: for those who aren’t understanding what I’m saying let me be clear: I understand the point of the SHOW was to have America be “ugly” in a beautiful world, but the show’s messaging worked a little too well as so many people thought America IN REAL LIFE was ugly until she was on Superstore. Like there were so many posts about her “glow up” because the show made her out to be some kind of troll. Okay thanks bye!
Giiirl, I don't know if you're old enough but those cryptic commercials being nothing but "SAVE THE CHEERLEADER, SAVE THE WORLD". Gagged me every time.
@@headoverheels88omg youre reminding me of all the mid to late 00s ARGs! tv was really different for a few years specifically because of early mass internet connectivity. ARGs havent hit the same since
Sis, I could write a whole essay about the cultural impact of Yo soy Betty, la fea. When I tell you till this day having bangs and glasses is a fashion statement in Colombia, or how even years later every time the telenovela has a rerun it stills becomes the most watched show in the country, or how even years later it is still so relevant that meme culture quotes the show all the time.
Mike refering Milo Ventimiglia as 'the guy from Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry, music video and nothing else BECAUSE THAT'S ALL HE'S BEEN IN' is quite literally a federal ofference. Put some respect on Jess Mariano's name. INSTANTLY.
As a Colombian I’m so happy you acknowledged Yo soy Betty la fea as the original! It really had a massive cultural impact in our country and Latin America in general
Not just Latin America as I saw in some comments, someone even mentioned there's a Polish version? Insane, yeah that show was huge, the whole reason the US version exists is because of how international it went, but it seems most non Latinos don't know about the original lol
You mentioned watching Dark on Netflix before, and if you're going to get into time travel I'd like to nominate Dark for the next appropriately unhinged breakdown. That show is CRAZY and absolutely requires a corkboard to explain.
Same! This morning I was talking to my colleague all about gossip girl / lost and the rodent agenda/shark tale and how it all explains mike's upload frequency even tho my colleague has never even seen a mike's mic® video🙄
But for REAAL. I was obsessed and fell in love with Zach Quinto which led me to an obsession with the new Star Trek movies LOL. But I haven't thought of Heroes since high school and now suddenly 😂
To be fair to the writers a little bit, I think you could read Betty giving Daniel the credit for the photoshoot as both a nice gesture and a tactical move on her part. By giving Daniel the credit she ensures her own position as his assistant by protecting his position at the company, and now he's doubly indebted to her because not only did she save the whole photo shoot but she also saved his reputation. So even though the two don't have this deep connection yet, it's both a decision that benefits Betty and shows us as the audience that she's a kind person
Mr. Michael Microphone, my mother adored these two shows and the impact they had on my childhood was unparalleled. Thank you for connecting these seemingly unconnected dots!
just so you know, a month ago i got six minutes into this video and decided i finally needed to watch ugly betty. today, i watched the finale episode and am back to finish this video because i have no idea what to do with myself now that i've finished what so quickly became my FAVOURITE show.
@@RickyDog1989 I think you’re right, there’s no way … but does this means one of two things. Mike through shade at GG or hes doing a pilot video on it ?
And now America Ferrera is nominated for an Oscar! I love her in everything she's in, from Sisterhood to Ugly Betty to Superstore to Barbie, and I'm so glad she's getting her flowers!! 💐💖
I never got into Ugly Betty when it was on TV (not sure why, maybe I was too young to appreciate it anyway) but I binge watched it during my lunch breaks from work during COVID and literally made my day 10x better every time I watched it...such a great show! Love the cast, all the late 2000s fashion and songs, the DRAMA. So glad I finished it before they took it off streaming.
Ugly betty is iconic. The acting, writing, the friendships, chef’s kiss. I love the soap opera drama with the witty humor. I am still mad that daniel and Betty did not get together in the end.
Anyone else remember how in Heroes S1 they portrayed Peter and Claire in a way that seemed to suggest something weirdly romantic, only for it to turn out they’re UNCLE and NIECE?
i love you immediately identifying yourself as an australian, not through voice or cultural references, but because you said it's hot while the northern hemisphere is a gigantic icicle right now
I love Ugly Betty and the Mexican telenovela version La Fea Más Bella (which aired January 2006). I watched both those shows religiously as a kid in a Mex-American household lol
I'm gonna watch this after work, but can you IMAGINE being me having to see 3 different adaptations of Ugly Betty all around the same time period?! My mother and grandmother would often watch the original Columbian Telenovela "Yo Soy Betty, la fea" , and it would be often replayed in Mexican channels. THEN live watching the Mexican adaption of that same Columbian novela named "La Fea Mas Bella" AND THENNN just a few channels over in the American side, UGLY BETTY?! talk about a PHENOMENON
you saying there’s gonna be a lost part 2 and possibly 3456 made me so freaking excited. i have rewatched your original one a million times and i constantly think on a regular basis i hope to god he makes a part 2 so the fact that you just confirmed you are making one is literally give me a reason to keep living rn 😭😭😭 thank u mikeeeee u are my comfort content i’ve watched all your videos even if they aren’t movies or shows i’ve seen and i genuinely think ur hilarious. you’re one of the only youtubers who genuinely makes me laugh out loud❤ talented and gifted🤪lmfao ilysm
LITERALLY rewatching Ugly Betty rn and the whole time thinking “Mike would make a really good video on this show”. It’s been my favorite show for years and no one talks about it❤❤ thank you Mike😭😭
A Mike’s Mic Perfect Pilots double feature is just what I needed today. How did I not know that Betty was played by America Ferrera?? I watched at least the first season in college.
i’ve actually been starving for a mikes mic video. my stomach was growling, i go to open the fridge, and guess what’s in there after a month? you guessed it-the king himself
I really hope the Desperate Housewives hint wasn't a tease!! I'm so excited to talk about this show to people that loved it again!!! My life officially won't be complete until I see your video
Mike I ended up watching the entirety of LOST after watching your first recap video 3 times. I LOVED IT SO MUCH. Thank you so much for doing that video and I can’t wait for the rest of them !!!
Heroes was my jam! I do however want to have a word with whoever from the makeup department kept putting warm-skinned Hayden Panettiere in that cool lilac lip gloss for the first couple of seasons. They were not on her side.
Mike you’re so so real… I just got off the absolute worst shift & I was just gonna go to bed exhausted and sad until I checked youchube and IM SO GLAD I DID. Perfect timing, how do you always know when to come back?? 😭💗
MIKE! when you reviewed the charts that week I couldn't contain myself! I literally relieved my youth in rose tinted glasses and I literally wanted to cry for a sec! Thank you! ❤
michael........i screamed when this came up on my homepage. i literally on like january 1st 2024 had a violent and vivid flashback to being obsessed with ugly betty as a small girl and THIS MORNING i finished episode 20 of season 4. a stunning piece of media through and through, the cliffhangers and twists are truly not to be undersold. camp thank you for seeing us and speaking on our behalf
Thank you for the Slayerstory! Also, my mom and I were big fans of ‘Ugly Betty’. The fashion, the characters, the EVERYTHING. Also, nice to see this dropping as we heard America Ferrera got nominated for an Academy Award.
I remember watching the Heroes pilot when it came out on TV because there was so much hype, and then it got to the sink scene. Seeing that traumatized my 13 year old self so bad that I immediately turned it off and never watched the show again. Good to know it was as impactful as I remembered.
Wait Hold on... The OC connection is real!! Who went from acting on the OC to Ugly Betty? Caleb Nichols =Bradford Meade(Actor Alan Dale) Please Mike don't forget about "The OC" it belongs in the Mike's Mike Universe.
Mike... I'm only 4 minutes and 25 seconds into the video, and I am dying LOL. Your timing is just gold. Every. Single. Time. ALSO, thank you for covering UGLY BETTY! Such a great first season they had!! HEROES of course, a freaking classic. Thank you for taking us on a nostalgic ride
Mike making my day, month and year in one video! Ugly Betty is such an iconic show with Whilehlmina being the best villain that you also love. No one can pull a visual and verbal slaying like her!
I would imagine that the excitement I feel when a video is posted is similar to the excitement felt by Victorian children when they would get more that a fifteenth of a loaf of bread for supper.
YESSSSS!!! I’m an Ugly Betty (Colombian version) STAN and I like watching all the other ugly Betty type shows. I didn’t like this one because it felt like it was going nowhere after 3 seasons so I stopped watching but it was still fun!
